Bates Edsel E Jr DDS
Bates Family Dentistry has been family owned and operated since 1985. Each member of the family has had an opportunity to contribute his or her personal touch to some aspect of the practice. The late Pauline Ruth Bates, mother of Dr. Bates, was passionate and determined to help make the practice a place centered around service and love for others.

Outside of answering phones and assisting where she was needed, "Nanny" would personally sign birthday cards for each and every patient seen through the practice. Born and raised in Nashville, Dr. Bates was inspired by his childhood dentist to pursue a career in the field of dentistry.
Services
At Bates Family Dentistry, we strongly believe in the importance of whole body preventive health. Good nutrition, maintaining an active lifestyle through regular physical activity, and consistent home care paired with routine cleanings at the dental office all play a role in preventive health. Patients with diseased gums release significantly higher levels of bacterial components such as endotoxins in the bloodstream.

The dentist I've been seeing for the past decade has retired. When I found Eddie Bates I was very impressed. And his hygienist, Karen is the best ever!!

I have been going here since I was little, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. I moved away to KY, but I still drive down for Eddie Bates!!! I tried other dentists, but they do not compare. They actually care about you and are not trying to take all your money by always offering extra services. They are so nice, and they make you feel like family! Call them today!!!!

Love this family and their office! I went in for a consultation, and unlike other Dr's I've seen before, he was very honest and conservative. I appreciated that so much!

Bates Denistry is the best dentist office I've ever been to. They are all very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Bates is absolutely amazing and does such a thorough job of making sure my teeth and gums are healthy. I love coming here and have highly suggested Dr. Bates to many friends... and will continue to do so!
